Decoupling epigenetic variation from genetic variation reveals complementary dimensions of coral eco-evolutionary dynamics

The paper decouples genetic and epigenetic variation in corals to show they provide complementary insights into eco-evolutionary dynamics.

Multi-Omics Reprogramming Drives a Counterintuitive Reversal of Disease Susceptibility During Ageing

The paper identifies age-related epigenetic, transcriptional, and metabolic reprogramming in oysters that increases tolerance to a viral disease, revealing an evolutionary trade-off between growth and antiviral defense.

Bacteria with antibacterial activities isolated from Magallana gigas microbiota as potential probiotics against Vibrio aestuarianus infections in oyster farming

The paper isolates bacteria from Magallana gigas microbiota that reduce V. aestuarianus infection in oysters, showing potential as probiotics for disease control.

Reconstructing the dynamics of past coral endosymbiotic algae communities using coral ancient DNA (coraDNA)

This study reconstructs past Symbiodiniaceae communities in Porites lobata corals using ancient DNA, revealing stable core microbiota and changes during extreme heat events.

Experimentally mimicking long term infections of Magallana gigas with the OsHV-1 virus reveals evolution through positive selection

This study investigates OsHV-1 viral evolution in response to oyster host genetic variation, finding genetic homogenization and stronger positive selection in susceptible hosts.

Exploring thermal tolerance across time and space in a tropical bivalve, Pinctada margaritifera

This study assesses thermal tolerance of Pinctada margaritifera across life stages and sites, revealing higher vulnerability in early larvae and significant thermal injury under extreme conditions.

Benchmarking of Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP-Seq) methods in the Pacific oyster Magallana gigas

This study benchmarks four ChIP-seq methods in the Pacific oyster to identify the most effective for its chromatin structure.

Microbial education plays a crucial role in harnessing the beneficial properties of microbiota for infectious disease protection in Crassostrea gigas

This study shows that exposing Pacific oyster larvae to beneficial microbes during early life stages enhances their resistance to POMS and Vibrio aestuarianus infections.

Sequencing, de novo assembly and annotation of the genome of the scleractinian coral, Pocillopora acuta

The paper sequences, de novo assembles, and annotates the genome of the coral Pocillopora acuta, demonstrating the technical feasibility and cost-effectiveness of coral genome assembly.

The tropical coral Pocillopora acuta has a mosaic DNA methylome, an unusual chromatin structure and shows histone H3 clipping

This paper describes a method to purify coral chromatin, reports the first methylome of Pocillopora acuta with a mosaic methylation pattern, and identifies an unusual chromatin structure and histone H3 clipping.

Whole transcriptome sequencing and biomineralization gene architecture associated with cultured pearl quality traits in the pearl oyster, Pinctada margaritifera

The paper uses RNA-seq to compare transcriptome expression in pearl sacs of P. margaritifera producing high and low quality pearls, identifying gene expression differences and alternative splicing patterns in biomineralization genes.

Identifying conserved molecular mechanisms of thermo-acclimation in symbiotic organisms

The paper identifies conserved molecular mechanisms of thermo-acclimation in symbiotic organisms by analyzing gene expression responses to temperature changes in giant clams and their dinoflagellate symbionts.
